Causal association between dietary habits and aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm: Mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have emphasized the health benefits of dietary habits, particularly concerning arterial diseases. Nevertheless, the relationship between dietary habits and the risk of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm remains unclear globally. This study aims to explore potential causal relationships between dietary habits and these 2 types of aortic disease. We analyzed data from genome-wide association studies, which included 34 dietary habits from the Nicola Pirastu study and summary statistics from the FinnGen R11 database regarding aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm, to evaluate the association between dietary habits and these conditions. We primarily employed inverse variance weighting as the analytical method, supplemented by other analyses including weighted median, Mendeli
